If x = -6, which inequality is true, -5 - 3x > 10, -3 - 5x < -14 or 2-x < -3?

1 answer:

6 0

If x = -6
we can subtitution x to every inequality, so :
-5 - 3x > 10
-5 - 3(-6) > 10
-5 - (-18) > 10
-5 + 18 > 10
13 > 10 [true]

-3 - 5x < -14
-3 - 5(-6) < -14
-3 - (-30) < -14
-3 + 30 < -14
27 < -14 [false]

2 - x < -3
2 - (-6) < -3
2 + 6 < -3
8 < -3 [false]

So if x=-6, inequality true is -5 - 3x > 10.

El numero de libros vendidos en una tienda aumentó aproximadamente de 6000 a 9000 durante varios meses cual porcientorepresenta

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of increase, what we must do divide the two quantities, in this way we will be able to know how bigger they are from each other. So:

9000/6000 = 1.5

Now, we subtract those from 1, which would be 100%

1.5 - 1 = 0.5

therefore the increase was 50%

Given that rectangle MNOP~ rectangle STUV~, what is the length of ___<br> TU

IrinaK [193]

A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. The value of x or the length of TU is 22.5.

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

That parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but the reverse statement may or may not be true.

Since all the rectangles are similar, therefore, the corresponding sides of the rectangle will be in ratio. Therefore,

$\dfrac{\text{Length of STUV}}{\text{Length of MNOP}} = \dfrac{9}{6}$

Similarly, the breadth will be,

$\dfrac{\text{Width of STUV}}{\text{Width of MNOP}} = \dfrac{\text{Length of STUV}}{\text{Length of MNOP}}\\\\\\\dfrac{\text{Width of STUV}}{\text{Width of MNOP}} = \dfrac{9}{6}\\\\\\\dfrac{x}{15}=\dfrac96\\\\\\x = \dfrac{9 \times 15}{6} = 22.5$

Hence, the value of x or the length of TU is 22.5.

(X to the fourth power) squared equals

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$(x^4)^2=x^8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the power of a power property, which states that $(x^n)^m=x^{n\times{m}}$ , where m and n are real numbers, the expression you mentioned can be simplified by applying this property like this: $(x^4)^2=x^{4\times2}=x^8$

$\displaystyle\bf 3x+7\geq 52 \ ; \ x>15 \\\\3x\geq 45\\\\x\geq 15 \ \ \ and \ \ \ x>15$ here is a contradiction because in one inequality x can be equal to 15 ; and in the other it cannot
